Royal Vegas Casino Review

1. Solid Welcome Bonus for New Players

The welcome bonus at Royal Vegas Casino invites all new players from Canada to claim up to as much as C$1,200 in free bonus cash. This multi-tiered sign up bonus is actually spread out over your first four deposits and on each of those deposits you can double up. Each deposit match bonus that you can claim on those first four deposits is worth up to C$300.

As soon as you make a deposit, the bonus cash should instantly be credited to your account. No bonus codes are required whatsoever and there’s no point depositing any more than you need to because you will still only get a maximum of C$300 per deposit. The Royal Vegas Casino welcome bonus currently works as follows:

Highlights From Royal Vegas Bonus Terms and Conditions:

The best thing to do before accepting any online casino bonus would be to read through the terms and conditions, to ensure that you don't miss out. I have picked out some of the most important bonus terms and have jotted them down for you right here for you. You can also read the full Royal Vegas Casino welcome bonus T's & C's by clicking here.

1. You have just seven days after your new account has been activated to claim your welcome bonus.

2. Upon accepting the bonus, your free bonus cash will be credited to your new account as soon as you have made a successful deposit.

3. Before it can be transferred from your bonus balance to your cash balance and before any withdrawals can be made, your bonus money must be wagered at least 50x times. Therefore if you deposit the full C$300 on your first ever deposit, you would need to wager $15,000 (50 x $300) to complete the wagering requirements.

4. Don't forget that only certain games will contribute more than others towards completing your wagering requirements, which can be frustrating, but once it's done, it's done. The games to avoid when trying to complete your wagering requirements are Sic Bo, Red Dog, Craps and Baccarat because these contribute 0% towards completing them. The contribution percentage varies a great deal for different game types as follows:

5. You also really need to be aware of the fact that the Gamble Feature on all Slots or the Double Feature on all Video/Power Pokers will NOT count towards completing your playthrough requirements. It also states in the T’s and C’s that “If you play on the excluded games (0%) before meeting the playthrough requirements, then you agree that the casino holds the right to void any winnings made from these games at our discretion."

2. One of the Oldest Online Casinos - Established in 2000

You'd be surprised at the number of online casinos that have been operating for 15-20 years or more, just like Royal Vegas Casino, but in most cases you will find that many of these old-timers have been left to decay and have still not quite managed to get things right after all this time. Royal Vegas Casino is quite the exception though.

This casino has been through several changes since its inception and the sheer length of time that this casino has been operating has given people more time to examine the casino thoroughly. Ever since I first signed up to the casino, I have been more than pleased with the services they offer. I’ve never really needed to play anywhere else because Royal Vegas Casino has almost everything I need under one roof. This is why it consistently ranks at #2 out of 30+ on this website. Check out what this casino used to look like in 2007 below.

Today you can visit pretty much any reputable website that reviews world-class online casinos and you’ll find that the majority of these sites share similar positive opinions to my own. You can also find lots of player feedback on these casino review sites and on forums and there are numerous blogs about Royal Vegas casino, which also tend to be on the positive side. Over the years Royal Vegas Casino has gained a solid reputation, and you really can't go wrong if you decide to play here at one of the world's oldest online casinos.

3. Professionally Trained Player Support

One of the other things that I love about this casino is that their 24 hour, toll-free player support is always quick to respond. You're generally never waiting in a queue which is often the case at some online casinos, and the support agents seem to always respond immediately after you ask them a question.

From my experience, I have found that some online casino support agents will juggle several conversations at once and they can take ages to respond between questions. You won't get any of this kind of nonsense here at Royal Vegas Casino. I prefer using the live chat feature because it's so convenient and all the questions that I've ever put to the professionally trained support agents in the past have always been answered in seconds.

The support doesn't try and plug you the latest bonus offer and they get normally straight to the point. They're really friendly and it's always been a pleasurable experience chatting with the live chat agents. There is also a 24 hour, toll-free telephone number which some of you may find useful should you ever need to get in touch with the casino, but I think I'll always stick to using the live chat support method.

I always thought that the minimum deposit amount at Royal Vegas Casino was C$20, but when a friend told me that it was just C$10, I quickly contacted the support via live chat just to double-check and it turns out that my friend was indeed correct. Check out this transcript that I took a screenshot of, which confirmed what my friend told me.

4. Fast Deposit & Withdrawal Times

What I can't understand about some online casinos is why it takes so long to process withdrawals. However, at Royal Vegas Casino the withdrawals times are super-fast. I tend to deposit and withdraw here using my Visa debit card, but there are lots more reliable Canadian online payment options to choose from. Deposits tend to be processed instantly and I’ve found that when I withdraw, the funds are usually in my bank account by the next day.

Although it says that it can take up to 48 hours for withdrawals to be processed, you will find that it only takes this long when you attempt to withdraw just after business closing times on a Friday evening (or on a weekend). While Canadian players may not have access to e-Wallets such as Skrill or NETELLER, there are plenty of other reliable payment options to choose from such as Interac, credit & debit cards and Instadebit. If you're like me and can't wait to get your hands on your winnings, you're going to love how quick the withdrawal times are at Royal Vegas Casino.

5. More Than 800 Games to Choose From

Since I first signed up to Royal Vegas Casino there has always been a comprehensive portfolio of more than 650 Microgaming games to choose from. Now, several years later, there are more than 800 games to choose from with new ones arriving all the time. You can also now find an even more diverse range of games from Microgaming’s new partner companies - Just for the Win Studios, Rabcat, Triple Edge Studios, Fortune Factory Studios, Slingshot Studios, Foxium, All41 Studios, Crazy Tooth Studio and Stormcraft Studios. The live dealer casino games used to be supplied by Microgaming, but now they are supplied by Evolution Gaming - the world's leading producer of live dealer casino games. Check out the live dealer casino lobby in this image below.

The live dealer games are only available in the real money mode, so make sure that you have enough in your account before entering this exciting part of the casino. Here you can find some amazing live games such as Live Casino Hold’em, Live Blackjack, Live Roulette and Live Baccarat. If you’re like me then you will also love the newer live dealer game alternatives such as Live Dream Catcher, Live Super Sic Bo, Live Monopoly and Live Deal or No Deal.

I find it really easy to navigate the main games lobby because everything is nicely compartmentalized and the good news is that all of the other games at Royal Vegas Casino, including the slots, the video poker games and the table & card games, are available in the free play demo mode too (not just in the real money mode). To practice on a game in the free play mode you only need to hover over a game and then click on the demo button. Just make sure that your Flash player is up to date and enabled before loading any of the games.

If you've got a stable internet connection you should find that most of the games will take just seconds to launch. There are hundreds of slots to choose from and some of the most famous online slots in the world can now be found here. You can also play to win life-changing jackpots on a daily basis here at Royal Vegas Casino.

1. Weekly Withdrawals are Capped at C$4,000

I've never really understood why online casinos have withdrawal limits, especially such low amounts. For example, at Royal Vegas Casino (just like many other online casinos today) the maximum amount that you can withdraw per week is capped at C$4,000. Although it has never personally affected me because I have never attempted to withdraw more than C$4,000, I'm sure that some players who have won big cash prizes have been annoyed by this restrictive limit.

I think the most I ever tried to withdraw was C$2,400 and I never encountered any problems when I withdrew this amount. However, I would hate to only be able to withdraw C$4,000 per week, especially if I won somewhere in the region of C$50,000 or more. Don't forget; it's not only Royal Vegas Casino that has this weekly withdrawal limit. Many other online casinos have a similar policy in place.

2. Only Has Games From Microgaming

Back in the day, Royal Vegas Casino only ever had games from Microgaming. However, over the past few years, the operator of this casino has gradually diversified its gaming content since partnering with several new & independent game studios. Not only has this increased the number of available games, it has also given players an even broader range of games to enjoy playing on.

But saying that, I would still love to see a wider choice of games from even more of the world's leading online casino software providers such as NetEnt, Playtech and Red Tiger Gaming. I’d also personally love to see games from Blueprint Gaming, Quickspin, IGT Interactive, WMS Gaming, Yggdrasil Gaming, Thunderkick, ELK Studios and Pragmatic Play, to mention just a few notable providers.
